Apex Detected as Malware

@Cream_Nora If you had ran a full system scan to scan for everything and it came up with nothing, then you could run a file integrity check on the game's files through the EA App, and then scan the whole system again afterwards to see if the problem is still there.

"do you recognize the ip that being compromised? [Edited]"

- No I do not, and that could be your IP, so I wouldn't share any more IPs, (also don't share any other personal information on the forums as well).

For it popping up the browser, that's still weird, (and the game shouldn't even be opening up Edge). As for the game, "spamming every hour", what do you mean by this exactly?

"Should i even remove apex when malwarebytes doesn't detect anything inside of the folder? Cuz.. Redownloading the game again, ate so much internet quotas"

- It depends, I personally would try to repair the game's files first, and then run a scan. If there's still an issue, I would then reinstall the game, and check it with another scan afterwards. If there's an issue again after that, then that would be something to report to EA Support, (as it could be a security issue with the game).

Lastly for the outbound connection part, that usually means that your PC reached out and connected to something that posed a risk to the system and/or to your network. I would check your PC's firewall settings, and to make sure your router's firmware is up to date, (as well as checking the router's firewall).

Like you, I'm not an expert either. All I know is that a system shouldn't be sending data out or be receiving data randomly.

For example: When launching the game, the only outbound connection should be your connection to the game and to EA's servers, while the inbound connection should be from the game and EA's servers as well.
